A series of α-amino-benzimidazole derivatives (1~5) were synthesized by reaction of α-amino acid with o-phenylenediamine under microwave irradiation. 1-(1H-benzo[d]imidazol-2-yl)ethanamine 1 reacted with bromobutane forming mono-butyl, dibutyl and tributyl substituted benzimidazole (1a~1d); and the N-alkylated derivatives (1i~1g) were synthesized by protection of amine group by Boc and then N-alkylation. The catalytic capability of the catalyst generated in situ from Ru (Ⅱ) compound and obtained benzimidazole derivatives were evaluated in the transfer hydrogenation of ketone using iso-PrOH as hydrogen donor and solvent. The results revealed that catalyst generated in situ from RuCl2(PPh3)3 and ligands had moderate to high activity. The catalyst system with α-amino-benzimidazole derivative containing NH2 group is the most active and the highest TOF was up to 40200 h-1.
